'Those who believe that they infallibly listen to a divine command, have nothing else to do but obey it. Those who are the mere creatures of instinct press on without misgiving. And those who suppose they follow their manifest destiny, go forward come what may! But as for us, while we know that we must go our way, we have to learn which way is right and safe. If we pursue the course we trod in former years, whither will it lead us? Where has it led us? What reason have we to believe that it is the way of wisdom and the path of duty?'

What's here

A quick look at the 'blogosphere' shows that the nature of the medium means it is all too easy for a 'blog' to convey the impression that its compiler is, at best, self-indulgent and verbose, and at worst, a narcissistic bore. Religious blogs are by no means immune from this.However, while I shall try to avoid sharing my each and every passing thought with you, there is a use for a space for shorter, more ephemeral pieces of writing, and on this website, that's here. These pieces are likely to be frequently revised, sometimes rewritten and occasionally removed.
